Summer School Show 2015
Last August saw the 4th Show by the youngsters of the Ninfield Dance and Drama Club, on Stage in the
Ninfield Memorial hall.
Following the success of 'Oooomph'. 'Pzzzazz' and 'Tadaah', 'Woweeee' was Written, Choreographed and Directed by Sami Guard.
It saw 23 students from the age of 2yrs 10mnths to 16yrs perform Songs, Dances, Sketches, Comedy Routines, and ended with the now infamous 'Potted Pantomime', where 4 Panto subjects have been mashed together to create a new story providing characters for all 23 performers.
Over 200 audience members agreed that the standard of performance was extremely high and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the show....
SO Hot off the Press!!
